Action cuts rents misery

Coventry Evening Telegraph, 18 May 2006

"Prevention of evictions is one of the main goals of the Housing team at Coventry Law Centre and, traditionally, we have represented housing association tenants in court to try to achieve this goal. We are very pleased to be able to work together with Whitefriars Housing Group to offer independent advice to their tenants at a much earlier stage in the arrears recovery process. Our experience is that assistance at an earlier stage is more likely to offer solutions that are sustainable, and involvement with tenants before their case reaches court is a much less traumatic process for them. The reduction in evictions by Whitefriars is an excellent result for all involved."
Sue Bent, Director, Coventry Law Centre.
